谷歌日历 API 和 API 关键问题

Question

OK. So I am building a simple app for a friend. The biggest requirement for this app is that he wants a user to be able to go to his site and create an event on his google calendar. I have let him know that this calendar will have to be made public and he is fine with that. I created an API Key with google and the first call against the API with the API Key to get calendar events for a given day works fine. The second request, a post, returns:

err(401)"API keys are not supported by this API. Expected OAuth2 access token or other authentication credentials that assert a principal."

It doesn't make sense that his website would be an OAuth app because that would require the user have a gmail account.

There has got to be some kind of way to make this work...

Thanks Everyone

I just want to make a post request to Google Calendar API using an API Key.

Answer 1

API keys only give read access. If you want write access you need the permission of the owner of the calendar

options

1. Create a google workspace account and use a service account with domain wide deligation
2. use Oauth2 have your friend auth it once store the refresh token and use the refresh token to request a new access token when ever you want to write to the calendar

neither option will work with client side JavaScript switch to a server side programming language
